Starbucks on Valentine's Day

It has been five days since heart's day and I haven't written anything about it or posted anything on my social media accounts. It's not that we didn't celebrate it at all, but I was just stuck with my clingy youngest and sick children that I could barely get my hands on the keyboard. Okay, inhale and exhale.

My take on Valentine's make-up look

We officially celebrated Valentine's day a week ago to avoid the hustle and bustle. We know for sure that every corner of the metro will be extremely busy and we do not want to be part of it. We had staycation at Privato Hotel (my thoughts and review will be posted on a separate one) and we had so much fun. If you remembered, I posted on IG and mentioned that I won a staycation last year from eGetinz and I believe it was the perfect time for our staycation.

So a lot of my friends from my social media accounts have posted their VDay celebration. Do not get me wrong though, I love looking at it and I am very much happy for them, the same way they like and put heart on my photos as well. But come to think of it, not everyone has the ability to accept reality. A lot of women from mommy groups was sad and I know most of them were expecting (at least) from their significant others something. Others, made a big deal out of it. I know for a fact because social media made me do it too. I did make a big deal out of it when my immature self has overpowered my emotions. Every girl deserves surprises and I thought, every man should surprise their loved ones just like in fairytales. I was wrong. I was looking for something that Boboy isn't. Don't get me wrong though, he loves surprising me with anything and I appreciate all of it but there was a point in our life that I expected too much of him. Again, I blame it on my social media plus my immature self.

You see, I am a different person now from seven years back. I begin to appreciate that a simple coffee and slice of cake can make me happy on VDay and few hours of me-time before I hit slumber will do. We can never turn our significant others into someone they're not on that single day just because everybody else is flaunting and posting on their social media sites. It is quite unfair to be honest. And just what Boboy said, "why do we have to show our love only on hearts day when we can show it everyday."

I must admit that I have focused my time so much on the kids that I have neglected Boboy already. What struck me most is when he told me, "I understand how you lack time for me because of the kids." I know it is not fair since he should come first before anything else and that I have to divide and manage my time really well.

To all the wives and to-be wives reading this, I hope you appreciate what is infront of you right now. Love them unconditionally like what you promised in your marriage vows. Whatever you are going through, always put your heart to it because love can move mountains.
